The initial examination of the cast of a partial body print
found 9/22/2000 during a BFRO expedition in southern Washington
state. The cast is referred to as the "Skookum Cast" because it
was found in the Skookum Meadows area of the Gifford Pinchot
National Forest.

The photo above shows the cast after most of the mud was removed.

Their
conclusions: The imprint was not attributable to any recognized
animal species. The imprint was most likely made by a living
sasquatch.

Primate Anatomist Dr. Jeff Meldrum of Idaho State University (shown
below) directed the final cleaning of the cast. The remaining
mud was removed in a careful, painstaking manner. Hairs of various
animals, including one unidentified primate, were extracted from
this final layer of mud.
